“An incident occurred that involved
my grandchildren and included my daughter making the statement
‘this is my house, if you don’t like what’s
going on, you can leave.’...Dealing with homelessness and
multiple health problems was a hard struggle. If not for the Grace
of God and Dr. Olivia Washington, I would not be here.”
~ Dorothy

[It] began with a raw breaking apart...
gradually transition through an exchange from the rawness ...the
ragged edges of Dorothy’s earlier life...through a mirror
framed in butterflies ... a symbol of her attempted metamorphosis,
until the artwork changed to the soft and fuzzy roundness of the
piles of Tweety Birds on the bed, which wrapped us protectively.
